Long famous for their fight to combat anti semitism, The Anti Defamation League has taken to the internet to educate the public and raise awareness of the hardships that immigrants must face in America. Their website lists a plethora of facts and citations to help clear up the myths surrounding newcomers into the country.

On the civil rights organization’s website, some of the common myths mentioned blame undocumented immigrants of crossing the northern Mexican border in large numbers, stealing jobs from naturalized Americans, and relying too heavily on entitlements.

After repeated warnings, Joe Arpaio was convicted of contempt of court for ignoring civil rights violations, for which he was recently pardoned, a headline made popular by the actions of the current presidential administration.

The Larkin and Lacey Fund, along with The Anti Defamation League, are among the many organizations that have vowed to support the migrant community to prevent acts similar to the Arizona incident from occurring at an even larger scale. Through recognizing the difficulties that migrants face from disenfranchisement, more resources could be allocated to help them prosper to a path for citizenship.
